Wiring a Bro to a Superswitch 5-way

Does anyone have a schematic for wiring a Brobucker to a 24 pole Superswitch ? I want it to have these functions : Humbucking, inner coil, outer coil, out of phase, & parallel. Not necessarily in that order but....Am doing an Esquire style guitar with single pickup,tone & volume only. Thanks!

The way it`s listed is fine. Not that particular to any order, just want lots of options !
 
Re: Wiring a Bro to a Superswitch 5-way

Here's what I've got:

1. Full
2. Phase reverse
3. Parallel
4. Screw coil
5. Slug coil

I just did it that way because I thought that'd be the most useful/easiest to remember.

Whipped this up just now.

i think it goes
1) humbucker
2) coil 1
3) coil 2
4) parallel (in phase)
5) parallel (reversed)

Forgot to add what great but simple to read schematics! Thanks, Burnt999

It isn't actually a rotary switch, but the same schematic is applicable to a rotary.

The superswitch is, if you think about it only a rotary switch operated by a lever, so the wiring protocols are very similar.

I'm used to the PC board Megaswitches which look very different on the outside. They work the same on the inside, but I'm not used to superswitches looking like that. Now that I look at it again, I realize that would be a funny rotary with half of it chopped off like that. Hmmmm..... I need to quit posting before I've had my coffee.

EDIT- My schematic's phase reverse is wired in series. I think you get a little more volume that way.

Wire must grow out of ya`ll`s fingers !!!! Tell me, do your fingers look like two humbuckers and a single coil ?!!! Keep on thinkin` !
